Kate drew attention to the following:-

 

-          A huge amount of work had been put in by officers from all agencies

 

-          The work had been developed by a multi-agency officer group overseen by the Task Group which provided the strategic overview of the work

 

-          Negotiations had taken place by both the Local Authority and CCG in order to produce a plan and action plan that both partners were fully signed up and committed to

 

-          A range of consultation activity and engagement had taken place as well as collating information from previous consultation.  This had included:-

·           Commissioning of Healthwatch Rotherham to conduct consultation with the local community on the envisaged transformation of services.  The survey had been completed by 42 people between 31st December, 2014 and 14th January, 2014

·           12 Council Customer Inspectors were asked a series of questions focussed around the proposed vision including the 4 Health and Wellbeing priorities

·           Emails sent to 305 social care providers in Rotherham inviting them to take part in a survey

·           The results from the Health and Wellbeing Strategy consultation that took place between July-August, 2012 to help shape the priorities

·           Patient Participation Network

·           Mystery shopper volunteers looking at the prevision vision, priorities and seeking their advice on Health and Wellbeing activities

·           Discussions at the Adult Partnership Board

 

-          The findings from the consultation activity were used to develop a set of “I” statements , which demonstrate outcomes that local people want from integrated working:

·           I am in control of my care

·           I only have to tell my story once

·           I feel part of my community which helps me to stay healthy and independent

·           I am listened to and supported at an early stage to avoid a crisis

·           I am able to access information, advice and support early that helps me to make choices about my health and wellbeing

·           I feel safe and am able to live independently where I choose

 

-          The vision for the plan had been based on the local Health and Wellbeing Strategy, A lot of work had gone into developing the local strategy which was being used to influence the plans of a range of partner organisations.  The Better Care Fund, if used effectively, should contribute significantly to delivering against the Strategy’s outcomes:

·           Prevention and Early Intervention

·           Expectations and Aspirations

·           Dependence to Independence

·           Long term Conditions

 

-          The 12 schemes in the action plan (appendix 2) had been divided under the above 4 themes and the plan demonstrated which BCF outcome measures the schemes would help achieve
